-::::''1.''
-:The roseate hues of early dawn, the brightness of the day,
-:The crimson of the sunset sky, how fast they fade away!
-:O for the pearly gates of Heav’n! O for the golden floor!
-:O for the Sun of Righteousness that setteth nevermore!
-::::''2.''
-:The highest hopes we cherish here, how fast they tire and faint!
-:How many a spot defiles the robe that wraps an earthly saint!
-:O for a heart that never sins! O for a soul washed white!
-:O for a voice to praise our King, nor weary day or night!
-::::''3.''
-:Here faith is ours, and heavenly hopes, and grace to lead us higher;
-:But there are perfectness and peace beyond our best desire.
-:O by Thy love and anguish, Lord, O by Thy life laid down,
-:Grant that we fall not from Thy grace, nor cast away our crown!}}
